On January 5, 2017, Columbus McKinnon Corporation (the Company) announced that it has received approval from the German Bundeskartellamt regarding Columbus McKinnon’s acquisition of Konecranes’ STAHL CraneSystems (“STAHL”) business. This approval was the final condition for closing. The Company filed an 8K regarding the acquisition of STAHL on December 7, 2016 under Items 1.01 and 7.01.
With the European Commission’s approval in late December 2016, the closing of Konecranes’ acquisition of Terex Corporation’s Material Handling and Port Solutions on January 4, 2017, and today’s approval from the German Bundeskartellamt, there are no additional contingencies on the closing of the Company’s acquisition of STAHL. The acquisition is now expected to close on or about January 31, 2017.
A copy of the press release issued in connection with such action is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
